Eaux d'artifice is a 1953 short film which consists entirely of a woman, wearing eighteenth century clothes, who wanders amidst the garden fountains of the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, Italy., until she steps into a fountain and disappears. It was made by Kenneth Anger. In 1993, this short film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
